Raw Normal View History

filter-repo: add new --no-ff option Some projects have a strict --no-ff merging policy. With the default behavior of --prune-degenerate, we can prune merge commits in a way that transforms the history into a fast-forward merge. Consider this example: * There are two independent commits or branches, named B & C, which are both built on top of A so that history look like this diagram: A \ \ \ B \ -C * Someone runs the following sequence of commands: * git checkout A * git merge --no-ff B * git merge --no-ff C * This will result in a history that looks like: A---AB---AC \ \ / / \ B / \ / -C- * Later, someone comes along and runs filter-repo, specifying to remove the only path(s) that were modified by B. That would naturally remove commit B and the no-longer-necessary merge commit AB. For someone using a strict no-ff policy, the desired history is A---AC \ / C However, the default handling for --prune-degenerate would notice that AC merely merges C into its own ancestor A, whereas the original AC merged C into something separate (namely, AB). So, it would say that AC has become degenerate and prune it, leaving the simple history of A \ C For projects not using a strict no-ff policy, this simpler history is probably better, but for folks that want a strict no-ff policy, it is unfortunate. Provide a --no-ff option to tweak the --prune-degenerate behavior so that it ignores the first parent being an ancestor of another parent (leaving the first parent unpruned even if it is or becomes degenerate in this fashion).
